Like who?
Working in a company which recruits people from research institutions I see many people joining the company from academia, every single one of them brings their Apple laptop with them and we have to tell them that they cannot use Apple laptops.
Why? Because we have no control of their personal hardware and there appears to be a connection between Apple devices and our Exchange server going wobbly every so often.
I say there appears to be because we cannot connect to and administer the devices via our management tools, however whenever certain people connect their Apple devices things go to pot on the servers.
Where I work we have found Apple computers to not be good enterprise solutions.

How are Apple and Google not more invasive?
People want tight integration without needing to think about it. These days that means not even having to deal with enabling a single service. When Apple automatically enables a service like this they are praised for being forward thinking and easy-to-use; when Microsoft does it they are the enemy.
Frankly getting a little sick of seeing the M$ reference to Microsoft as well. Have people not read about the stock prices and cash coffers of Apple, not to mention the premium they charge (and people continue to pay) for their products? Heck, Apple PRIDES itself on charging a premium and this is how they keep their investors happy - this is not opinion, but well documented fact.
I'm not a Microsoft fan-boy, but I will defend anyone when I see ridiculous double-standards at play.

Please do not cross-post messages. You asked this question in the C# Forum, which is an appropriate place. The Lounge is (for most) not an appropriate place for specific technical questions.

Mackies's of Scotland offer a Haggis & Black pepper[^] flavoured chips/crisps !!!! 
Surprisingly, it is quite good.

I picked up a packet of those in Bowmore back in May. Quite tasty, but not as good as a proper haggis.

So, in today's world wide development paradigm, I need to get something out for our test group in India. They are getting up soon, so they need code. Oh joy. So, my office is right off the kitchen. I cannot kick any of my daughters out yet, but I have an eye on the back upstairs bedroom as my next office.
The kitchen is today's gathering room, but I can deal with the chatter. I cannot deal with the elephanting dogs barking at each other...
comes right through the noise cancelling headphones.

Lol... or 
One guy told me to get one of those pre-fabbed work sheds. Insulate it, run power, small a/c and fiber. I have enough room in the backyard... Hmmmmm

I stopped wearing a watch much earlier than that, possibly in the 80s.

Sounds like you are unsure. I think a better explanation is you lost your watch and never bought a new one.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

No, I just don't remember the time... 
Actually some time after I graduated high school (1984) and before I graduated college (1992), I got fed up with having the band shave that part of my wrist so I relocated the watch to my pocket. I kept a succession of Casio calculator watches in my pocket until I got a cell phone. Since getting a phone I haven't carried a watch at all.

is the temperature outside. That's 44 Celsius for the metric heads. The air conditioning is running full blast and we are still hot. Would go swimming but the pool is completely exposed so will be like a furnace.
Love it.

I don't envy you...I like the cold.

Yeah, when it's cold you can turn up the heater and/or put on an extra vest.
When it's friggin hot outside there's only so much clothing you can take off. And where I come from airconditioning is pretty rare in houses. There's just nothing you can do about heat.
I like it better when it's cold outside
It's an OO world.

Yeah, it's definitely easier to warm up than it is to cool down, so if it has to be an extreme, I prefer the cold.
That and you can chill your beer out on the window sill too
